To look on youth, not as in the false heat and deceptive brightness of that first
Elated hour, the hour of the unwonted asterism, the hour
Of actually having it, but as in that minor hour, the hour of second order
Experience, in which you've been stuck since
That particular year, in which nature, revealing its ample power
To subdue and chasten, knocked flat your soul, and, in the hollow spot once filled, left
Road kill swaddled in a powder blue baby blanket
As though it were auditioning as the world's worst set designer
And still the fat slow flakes fluttered down
And still the hands turned, and still the hours
Chimed idiotically, and for a moment you inkled the still, sad music of humanity
You heard playing in the Chancellor's office, as you stood outside
In the hallway, in your unmatched bedroom slippers, praying
She wouldn't notice. Busy gal, you know.
How else are you going to stand it?
Otherwise, how could anybody stand it?
